Actually, how likely are LIPO's to go up when you do it wrong??

Cockerill 11-06-2008 08:20 PM

I've seen a Trakpower 4900 over-charged, the case expanded, that's it! No raging fire that will burn your house down.

Lee 11-06-2008 08:28 PM

But it will smoke it out :woot:

Cockerill 11-06-2008 08:32 PM

Nope, no smoke, just expanded a bit.

Cockerill 11-06-2008 08:37 PM

Anyway, back on topic, shopping lists ...

I bought a can of pepsi and sausage rolls from tesco today

josh_smaxx 11-06-2008 09:32 PM

Nitro fuel burns really cool (for fire anyway) so it probably wont start hurting for about 5-6 seconds :woot: well, theres only one way to know for sure..... BMag, come here......

I bought a can of pepsi, then i played alot more basketball so got water as well.

Maybe the 2wd turnout will get better and better.

Your running anything anywhere will not shock anything nor will it have any effect on anything.

Always a good idea to run something you probably won't be able to get parts for trackside and all those idiots running T4's will shake in their boots that you are running a basher truck against their race-bred, proven design race trucks... Good idea to be completely on your own for setups too and not be able to fall back on the internet for setups and knowledgebases.

Have fun with the truck nonetheless. With some decent tires on it it should handle ok(-ish) and get you into racing properly.

It is when that ballon burst that all the action starts. The charged lithuim element catches fire once it is exposed to the air. The hard case makes it alittle harder to burst but does not mean it can't happen. Alot easier with a soft case lipo.

ok-ish?????:confused:

Will people get pissed off because I'm not running an associated truck.
I like the B4 and the B44, just not the T4.

How many world championships has associated won with the T4?:blush:

ok-ish = kind of ok (not really ok)

Brian, the T4 is more or less identical to the B4. The only difference is:
-higher shock towers
-longer suspension arms (and turnbuckles)
-longer chassis

And you could always go for the J82 (JConcepts conversion kit for T4, makes it look like a B4) http://www.jconcepts.net/index.php?/...s_details/2607

At least try someone elses B4 at the track when you're testing you basher truck (ask politely).

Good luck and have fun! Remember, it's just toy cars and we're all just small kids! :thumbsup:

Where do you work Brian? Or do you go to school? Or is it a secret?

Yeah were just a bunch of kids who never grew up like Jay.:thumbsup:
They are just toys just to have something to do.
DarkWav is gonna take his E-firestorm and do that J82 conversion to it.
The T4 parts and E-firestorm parts are identical.
You gota love that all metal gear tranny though.
Should take any brushless motor you can fit in it.
Like the T4 this thing will wheelie with a mamba 5700 w/lipo.
So having a mamba in mine....nope I like sensored.

SHY 11-06-2008 11:29 PM

Where do you work Brian? (If I may ask)

Nowhere, because I've been helping jay at reo raceway.
www.reoraceway.com

I helped wes sweep the floors at reo.:thumbsup:

It was worth it for a baconator.:drool:

:wtf:

SHY 11-06-2008 11:44 PM

What's a baconator? :)

OK, so you don't work. You seem to have some $ though. Who pays for all your RC stuff? Mom? (who we know is hot)

Or are you rich? Now that would really prove a famous saying...

The government. He gets a crazy check for Meds that he has not been spending on Meds as you can tell. (Don't give me grief, I am serious.)
